(wireless connection method)
In the present embodiment, the P2P patterns that communicator is directly communicated not via other devices with other side's device
The infrastructure mode to be communicated indirectly with other side's device via other devices (such as access point) with communicator, can be by
Connection method as WLAN.
P2P patterns can have various modes.In these patterns, for example, communicator uses between these modes
Communication counterpart device is searched for and found to common search request command (for example, probe request).It can send added with various
The searching request order of attribute information.Generally, please it is recommended that receiving search if specifying attribute in searching request order
Ask the device of order by the specification of pattern and definition mode institute according to specification (WFD Wi-Fi) limit in the range of to the greatest extent may be used
The response relevant with the attribute that can be explained can widely be sent.It is in addition, (including above-mentioned in the information for being added to searching request order
Attribute) include unaccountable information in the case of, receiving the device of searching request order can be based only upon and can solve
The information released is responded.
The various modes that foregoing P2P patterns include can further comprise being referred to as Mode A (software ap mode) with
And the pattern of Mode B (Wi-Fi direct pattern).For each pattern, compatible equipment can be different, and workable application
Can also be different.
Fig. 7 shows the example of the process of the wireless connection processing of Mode A (software ap mode).Under software ap mode,
A device in communicator and other side's device is used as software AP, and another dress by realizing access point function by software
Put and operated as the client for being connected to software AP.In the following, it is assumed that mobile communications device 200 is served as with request respectively
The client of the role of kind service, and MFP 300 will serve as software AP.
Under software ap mode, client searches for the equipment that will serve as software AP by using searching request order 701, and
And software AP is responded by sending to the search response 702 of searching request order 701.When by client discovery software AP
When, remaining wireless connection processing (foundation of wireless connection etc.) is carried out between client and software AP, and then perform
IP connections handle (distribution of IP address etc.).Pay attention to, as sent to establish wireless connection between client and software AP/
The order of reception and parameter, using the order and parameter limited by such as Wi-Fi standards or the standards of IEEE 802.11, and will
The descriptions thereof are omitted.
Fig. 8 shows the example of the process of the wireless connection processing of Mode B (Wi-Fi direct (WFD) pattern).Pay attention to, energy
The equipment enough to be communicated by WFD patterns will be responsive to for example receive user's operation via the operating unit of equipment, to call
Realize the proprietary application of the communication function.Then, can be based on the operation screen for serving as the UI (user interface) provided by application
User operation, to perform the negotiation for carrying out WFD communications.Under WFD patterns, pass through searching request order in communicator
Search for after other side's device, P2P group owners (GO) and P2P clients (CL) are determined between communicator and other side's device
Role, and carry out remaining connection processing.It can consult for example, by the GO in WFD standards to carry out role's decision.
For example, communicator sends searching request order 801, and it is searched through other side's device of WFD patterns connection.It is right
Square device is responded by sending to the search response 802 of the searching request order 801 received.Sent out when by communicator
During existing other side's device, communicator and other side's device are confirmed on the service that can be provided to each other and the information (equipment of function
Validation of information).Service and function are that for example print service, image display service, file send service, video streaming services, video
Display service etc..Pay attention to, it is that facility information confirmation is not required but optional.Come for example, by the service discovery of WFD standards
Carry out the facility information the stage of recognition.By confirming mutual facility information, communicator and other side's device can carry out WFD
Before connection, it is known which kind of service can be provided by other devices that can be connected by WFD patterns.When by communicator discovery pair
During square device, decision will as the device that P2P groups owner (GO) is operated and will be used as P2P clients (CL) carry out
The device of operation.It can consult for example, by the GO in WFD standards to carry out role's decision.In GO negotiations, communicator
Sent to each other as each Intent (intention) value in each value for filling and centering, to compare Intent values with other side's device
Size.Next, as result of the comparison, communicator and other side's device determine that the device with greater value will be used as GO to carry out
Operation, and the device with smaller value will be operated as CL.If each Intent values have identical value, communication dress
The random value (0 or 1) of the generation after initially relatively will be compared with other side's device by putting, and determine GO and CL role.Certainly
After the role for determining GO and CL, communicator and other side's device are transformed into parameter switching phase and exchanged and carry out WFD communications
Parameter.Then, the parameter of communicator and other side's device based on exchange, remaining wireless connection processing and IP junctions are carried out
Reason.Pay attention to, in parameter switching phase, by using such as Wi-Fi protection settings, carry out the automatic peace exchanged on WLAN
The parameter (for example, information for coded communication) of full property.As parameter, it may for example comprise the identification information as wireless network
SSID, encryption key, encipherment scheme, certification key, certificate scheme etc..
It is described below infrastructure mode.Fig. 9 is the process for the wireless connection processing for showing infrastructure mode
The sequence chart of example.Under infrastructure mode, communicator creates network, is connected to the access point (AP) of control network, and
And communicated via AP with other side's device.For example, mobile communications device 200 and MFP 300 are connected to access point 400, and
Communicated with each other via access point 400.
Under infrastructure mode, each communicator is searched by searching request order 901 (searching request order 903)
Rope AP.AP is responded by sending to the search response 902 (search response 904) of the searching request order received.Connect
Get off, when by communicator find AP when, carried out between communicator and AP remaining wireless connection processing (wireless connection
Establish etc.) processing (distribution of IP address etc.) is connected with IP.Pay attention to, because use is by Wi-Fi standards or IEEE802.11 standards
The order of restriction and parameter are as to establish order that wireless connection sends/receive and parameter between communicator and AP
Enough, therefore by the descriptions thereof are omitted.
(the channel decision processing of infrastructure mode and P2P patterns)
When by carrying out infrastructure mode and P2P patterns parallel to carry out radio communication, communicator use is in base
Common signal channel of the channel as both of which provided under plinth architecture mode from AP.Therefore, it is possible within a communication device stably
Maintain the radio communication using both of which.The pattern that multiple communication patterns can be performed (simultaneously) parallel by this way is claimed
For operator scheme simultaneously.The wireless connection of infrastructure mode is carried out using specific frequency band (wireless channel).
Under infrastructure mode, stand (STA) be confirmed whether that AP can be wirelessly connected in channel workable for station.Connect
Get off, STA specifies the channel that response is received from AP, and determines to use the channel to use channel as subsequent.Namely
Say, only when the request command from STA reaches in the channel that AP can be used, AP just sends response command to STA.
In the wireless communication system formed by AP and STA, beacon signal is sent as the device that AP is operated, and
As the device that STA is operated searching request order is sent when receiving the beacon signal to AP.Searching request order is
Such as probe request.AP is not sent please to the search sent on the channel in addition to the channel except that can be used by AP itself
Seek the response command of order.Here, response command is such as probing response frame.
Such as, if it is possible to the channel used by access point 400 is the n-th channel, then access point 400 is not sent to using
The search response order for the searching request order that 1 channel is sent.If MFP300 determines sending searching request using the 1st channel
Response is not received from access point 400 because time-out waits after order, then then sending searching request using the 2nd channel orders
Order.MFP 300 repeats above-mentioned experiment by increasing channel number.When MFP 300 sends searching request order using the n-th channel
When, if channel is in unused state, access point 400 sends search response order.
Under infrastructure mode, use in subsequent wireless communication operation and returned in a manner of this is above-mentioned from access point
N-th channel of search response order.
The wireless connection of P2P patterns is carried out using special frequency band (wireless channel).Now, in order to stably maintain to pass through base
The radio communication of plinth architecture mode and P2P patterns, the channel for receiving response from AP under infrastructure mode is obtained, and will
The channel is arranged to the GO of P2P patterns common signal channel.
The channel limited by Wi-Fi standards is used under each pattern in infrastructure mode and P2P patterns.In Wi-
In Fi standards, according to country, channel of 1 to 13 channel as 2.4GHz frequency bands can be used.In the present embodiment,
It it will be assumed that the scope of workable channel describes for 1 to 13 channel to provide.However, the invention is not restricted to this.That is,
Although the quantity of channel may increase in different frequency bands, or provide according to according to every country or the frequency band in area, even if
Channel can also be limited to 1 to 11 channel within the same frequency band, can actually can be made according to the method for the present embodiment
Used in range of channels.For example, in IEEE 802.11a Wireless LAN standards, 5GHz frequency band is used.It is thus known that
The scope of about 36 to 140 channels can be used.Pay attention to, for the frequency band using 2.4GHz (1 to 13) and 5GHz (36 to 140)
Communicator, it means that to AP send searching request order channel quantity will increase.
(processing procedure)
Next, the example of the process for the processing that description will be performed in the present embodiment.Figure 10 is shown when in MFP
The example of the process of processing in 300 during startup WLAN.Pay attention to, although MFP 300 processing will be described in the present embodiment
Process, but can be performed by mobile communications device 200 identical processing.Pay attention to, for example, when MFP 300 CPU 602 will
When the control program stored in ROM603 etc. memory is loaded into RAM 604 and performs the program, realize Figure 10's
Each step.In addition, for example, when the WLAN that such as power on is generated in MFP 300 or is made by operating unit connects
When connecing the triggering of sign on etc., Figure 10 flow chart starts.
In managing in this place, MFP 300 first determines whether to enable while operator scheme (step S1001).If do not open
With the connection processing (step of operator scheme (being "No" in step S1001) simultaneously, the then execution of MFP 300 infrastructure mode
S1009).Handled successfully (being "Yes" in step S1010) in response to the connection under infrastructure mode, MFP 300 terminates root
According to the processing of Figure 10 flow chart.In this case, when the connection processing under infrastructure mode is unsuccessful (in step
It is "No" in S1010), MFP 300 repeats connection processing (step S1009).Pay attention to, could be configured such that MFP
300 perform connection processing only under P2P patterns.That is, MFP 300 can selection operation pattern be in step S1001
Operator scheme, infrastructure mode or P2P patterns simultaneously, and difference can be carried out for each pattern according to result is determined
Processing.For example, if operator scheme is while operator scheme, MFP 300 make processing enter step S1002.If operation
Pattern is infrastructure mode, then processing enters step S1009.If P2P patterns, then processing can open into P2P patterns
Dynamic (connection) processing (not shown).
On the other hand, if enabled while operator scheme (being "Yes" in step S1001), MFP 300 sets base
The connection time-out time (for example, 30 seconds) of plinth architecture mode, and the time of setting is stored in the RAM 604 in MFP 300
In (step S1002).Pay attention to, can be by this feelings when MFP 300 is arranged to be communicated using only infrastructure mode
Connection time-out time under condition is arranged to be shorter than the connection time-out time for the connection processing under infrastructure mode.For example,
In the case where when MFP 300 is arranged to be communicated using only infrastructure mode, time-out time is 1 minute, if opened
With operator scheme simultaneously, then time-out time can be arranged to 30 seconds.In addition, if when MFP 300 is arranged to that base is used only
Plinth architecture mode is not provided with time-out time (be nominally unlimited) when being communicated, then when enabling while can during operator scheme
Limited time-out time is clearly set.Figure 10 is not set exemplified with when being arranged to only be communicated by infrastructure mode
Put the situation of time-out time (being nominally unlimited).That is, this example illustrate and work as "No" is determined in step S1010
When, how to be reprocessed before step S1009 successes in the case of not determining time-out.However, when true in step S1010
When determining "No" and time-out is determined, if the connection processing under infrastructure mode is being arranged to the pre- timing of time-out time
It is interior failed, then it can set so that handling by mistake to terminate.In this case, time-out time can be arranged to
It is longer than the time-out time set in step S1002.
MFP 300 performs the connection processing (step S1003) of infrastructure mode, and monitors the whether successful (step of processing
Rapid S1004).Pay attention to, initial value is arranged to 0 second by MFP 300, and is passed through when starting the connection processing of infrastructure mode
Measured using the time started of timer unit 626.
If connection failed elapsed time reaches the connection time-out stored in RAM 604 from being started connection processing
Time (be "No" in step S1004 and be "Yes" in step S1005), then MFP 300 is given birth to by timer unit 626
Into time out event and stop time measurement.In this case, MFP 300 performs the startup processing (step of P2P patterns
S1007)。
On the other hand, if handling successfully (being "Yes" in step S1004) by the connection of infrastructure mode,
MFP 300 stops the time measurement by timer unit 626.Next, MFP 300 determines whether to start P2P patterns (step
Rapid S1006).If not actuated P2P patterns (being "No" in step S1006), MFP 300 is performed at the startup of P2P patterns
Manage (step S1007).
After the startup processing (step S1007) of P2P patterns, processing is transformed into step S1008 by MFP 300.In addition,
If determining to start P2P patterns (being "Yes" in step S1006) in step S1006, processing is transformed into by MFP 300
Step S1008.
In step S1008, MFP 300 determines whether to establish connection (step S1008) by infrastructure mode.By
In when there occurs during time-out, do not set up the connection by infrastructure mode (in step S1008 for determination in step S1005
For "No"), therefore MFP 300 returns process to step S1003, and re-execute the connection processing of infrastructure mode.
On the other hand, if it is determined that connection (being "Yes" in step S1008) is established by infrastructure mode, then the knots of MFP 300
The startup processing of beam WLAN.
Pay attention to, if determining to start P2P patterns in step S1006, and if determine to establish in step S1008
By the connection of infrastructure mode, then MFP 300 can change the setting of P2P patterns.For example, P2P patterns can be changed
Setting so that the wireless channel to be used under P2P patterns by with the wireless channel to be used under infrastructure mode
Match somebody with somebody.Further, since the connection under infrastructure mode carries out the determination in step S1006 in the case of handling successfully, therefore
When can determine to start P2P patterns in the determination in step S1006, the setting to P2P patterns as described above is carried out
Change.
As described above, according to Figure 10 processing, if enabled while operator scheme, architecture can be provided for
The time-out time of the connection processing of pattern so that start P2P moulds when have passed through time-out time in the case of failed connection
Formula.This can prevent P2P patterns from not starting due to the unfinished of the connection processing of infrastructure mode.In addition, in base
When plinth architecture mode is operated with single operation pattern, time-out time can be set.However, in this case, lead to
The time-out time for the connection processing for shortening the infrastructure mode in the case of operator scheme at the same time is crossed, P2P moulds can be accelerated
The startup of formula.This causes when the power supply of access point is turned off or when after startup access point, even if passing through basis
The connection of architecture mode can not establish or need the time to establish, and can also start P2P patterns.
Pay attention to, the time-out time when infrastructure mode is operated with single operation pattern can be set
To be shorter than the time-out time of the connection processing of the infrastructure mode in the case of operator scheme at the same time.This, which can increase, is opening
By the connection of infrastructure mode by the possibility in state of establishing before the time point of dynamic P2P patterns.
Pay attention to, as described above, the processing described in the present embodiment can be performed by mobile communications device 200.Also
It is to say, if the communicator of communication simultaneously can be carried out by infrastructure mode and P2P patterns, is then able to carry out above-mentioned
Processing.In addition, though infrastructure mode and P2P patterns are described in the above-described embodiment as an example, still this hair
Bright not limited to this.I.e. it is capable to above-mentioned processing is applied to can be communicated simultaneously in a plurality of communication modes it is logical
T unit.
In accordance with the invention it is possible to reduce a kind of communication pattern in the communicator that can be communicated in different modes
The influence that connection of the connection processing to other patterns is handled.
